WMC Medication Questionnaire
This form is used by a medication management group for an initial comprehensive med review for patients with mental illness (or any other patient). The patient completes the form before our visit, along with a PHQ-9, so we can focus on identifying and solving their medication related concerns at the time of the visit.
Psychiatry intern/resident orientation handout
Attached you will find a pdf of of the powerpoint I use to orient the incoming psychiatry resident physicians before they begin in July. I usually have 3 sessions.

The third session is basic psychotropic information, including monitoring, toxicities, etc.
I also give them a folder with lots of info - some facility specific, some general.

NIMH Video Describes Depression, Importance of Treatment
A new 4-minute video from the National Institute of Mental Health provides an overview for the general public on the symptoms, impact, and treatment of depression. The video is available for viewing by individuals or can be used by community groups or in health care offices to inform viewers about depression and its consequences, and the critical importance of seeking treatment. The NIMH video features first-person narrative describing an individual's experience with depression, and depictions of others dealing with symptoms of the illness. It illustrates research underway and gives examples of treatments available for depression. Importantly, the video urges viewers with symptoms to confide in friends or family members and to seek treatment.
